Once you get into GCC in enough detail, you'll come to appreciate that cross-compiling is not particularly special. It's just the compiler running on a different system type to the code being generated. There is certainly a bit of intricacy in building GCC for such an environment, but conceptually, it's very straightforward. Welcome, and thanks for joining up! Ben
